I'm pinching myself - feels like I'm dreaming but have marks up my arm so it's definitely real. Go Dees.

When the inferior Jetta missed that goal was when I started to think, hmmm. Just had that feel to it.

The effort that went in to the last goal was immense. It goes down on the score sheet to PMac, but it had the blood and sweat from 22 of them. They were tired and injured, but they just kept grinding it forward with everything they had. I think it's the sheer guts of it that has made me giddy.

Anyone think Viney will get a week?

I thought that initially, but ball was in play and I think he had eyes on it. But who knows with this MRP.

Someone put the final two minutes of the QB win on YouTube with various radio stations on commentary, instead of the TV.

Would love someone to get the Perth-based radio commentary into that video from tonight's game.

He might miss next week through injury, but not suspension.

He was contesting the ball and it was an accident. Dale Thomas wasn't suspended for doing the same thing.

An obviously important match to win from a ladder/season perspective, but also so important from an exposure/sponsorship/etc. perspective.

Prime time Saturday night game, leading into our first Friday night game in 5 years. We should expect 50,000+ at the G next week and some good ratings, which really helps with holding/obtaining sponsorship and getting a better fixture next year.

SHOULD not but probably will - MRP after all need to send a message, and don't really know what that message is  

Had his eyes on the ball in a marking contest clash - no case to answer.

I genuinely don't think I'm overstating it by saying that was the most significant win for this club in over a decade. Several star players missing, key in game injuries, 6 day break, interstate trip where we haven't won in 15 years, final quarter (and very late) deficit... HUGE amount of grit, flair and mental toughness showed by the boys. This team has officially arrived.

[censored] I love this club.

Oliver's hands to Hibberd in the build-up to the final goal though....

We were under-manned and down and out but willed across the line. Unbelievable belief, guts and courage!  My red and blue heart is close to bursting outside my chest tonight!

VERSE 2
Come Eagles and umpires

Please heed the call
Don't give out free kicks and
Don't dive on the ball
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The Demon inside
That's awaking.
It'll shake up the Finals
And make the Top Four
For the times they are a-changin'.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
